"Eyes are windows into the soul, they say. Still a bit unsettling to see a thousand souls wailing in a pair of eyes that close to your face. Sciafa was just as glad that her holy sword was stabbed an arm deep into the snake-demon's maw, keeping it at bay." #microfiction #sff #eyes #paladin

What’s everyone working on or reading this weekend? I’m 2/3 through an edit read of my next book πŸ‘€πŸ’ͺ

So, I just learned that if I don't write this book, no one else will. Which sounds suspicious... I mean, I've done all the right blood sacrifices...

Come learn about the first in game narrative of #StarCitizen, what I have dubbed the First Pyro-Stanton War, in the latest video on The Astro Historian! youtu.be/nhsGqwd1au4

I know Jeremy specified someone else, but this dude single-handedly brings so much positivity to this little virtual community that I feel like it needs pointing out once in a while.

Have compassion, have hope, and fight like hell to hold onto both even when the world makes that really freaking hard. #AskAnAuthor

I don't have spoons today (thanks body, thanks lower back pain). But once more, IF you are an indie bookstore, a buyer for a bigger chain, or just a reader who loves YA fantasy with a sapphic element, please help/signal boost/yell about/buy/review.

Wolf's Path is a collection of my stories from the start of my writing path until now. I turn 50 this year. On my path, under radar, running through the foliage. The collection is unapologetically queer and trans and joyful and angry and painful.

Ok, people, here's the thing: if in the next week we get more 20k views for Side Quested on Tapas, we get to another milestone of the CBP! If you want to make me and @kbspangler.com SUPER happy, please share this, or maybe do that long due re-read! ▢️ tapas.io/series/SideQ... ◀️ Thank you! πŸŽ‰

I wonder if anyone has ever thought of custom temporary tattoos for protesters? Toss on your lawyer's name. contact info, whatever. Doesn't look expensive either...

Ummh... did you know that this lovely Mr. Jim C. Hines made a wonderful thread for people like us? Definitely made my day more bearable. @auntiekristy.bsky.social @alwayscoffee.bsky.social 🧡 CW: violence against evil

I had the pleasure of painting this illustration for @beyondworlds.bsky.social recently. :)

It's time to yell at you to use alt text again.

Do mind dumps. If it is hard to unravel the knot of thoughts whirring like a gizmo in my head, I sit down and start typing whatever comes to my mind, slowly getting control of that lightning ball and steering it towards whatever project I am working on. #AskAnAuthor

My friend @auntiekristy.bsky.social keeps calling me a wordsmith and I love that! Often enough, it really feels like hammering my mind against cold words until they glow and bend and hiss, finally taking on a shape that expresses what I think & feel. It's worth it. #amwriting #writerslife

#lookup #goingforawalk #amwriting Used the lunchbreak to let my feet process some thoughts.

DEATH OF THE AUTHOR is not JUST a science fiction novel. It’s *a lot* of things all at once (which is why it required multiple covers). I think this fact is hard for many to process and I think that needs to change.

There's a lot to learn from those, if you have half a mind to read them not just for fun, but with your heart. #GNUTerryPratchett

USAians! Everything is horrible right now, but Amazon appears to have just put pretty much EVERY Terry Pratchett book on sale for $1.99 for Kindle today:

Please please check your sources before sharing information. Even more so if the story appears to follow your own biases. Screen caps aren't sources.

Some days you just gotta flip tables!

OK, I lied. This will go out within the hour.

Answering some questions: the series covers the first novella "All Systems Red," I'm a consulting producer, and we've been working on it since 2021. (So it seems fast from the timing of the announcements but it has actually taken a million years in me-time.)

Any reposts of my new book to help me try and reach this goal would be faaaaaab πŸ’–πŸ’ͺ
